Hi, I can understand your pessimism, even the best laid plans on the latest whizzy, high-tech machines can go wrong.
Sometimes it is best not to make too many definite plans, be flexible as to the destination. And if you break down, well France would be a nice place to break down.
My first trip to Morocco, way back in the early 1990's was very much a spur of the moment 'plan'. I saw a letter in the TRF magazine, a guy looking for other riders for a Moroccan trip, leaving in two weeks!!
So other than new tyres, a small bag strapped to the seat
,no big aluminium boxes back then ( thank goodness) and a few Michelin maps of Morocco, that was it..no real preparation, no big plan, just go.
So enjoy the trip, the final destination can be flexible.
I see you are going this August. The thread started with a 2023 date. Unfortunately I can't do this August, already made plans for France in June ( see my own thread somewhere on this page).
As to Morocco, there are plenty of good quality roads everywhere. I know many of the dirt tracks I used have been 'civilised,' tarmacked over. So no need to go 'off road'. A route across the Atlas mountains would be perfect. Lots to see and do.
Enjoy your adventure.
